Player Watch 2025 AFL Draft Thread

[Sicily]

I had the pleasure of seeking some shade on a warm day under the same tree with Kobe’s old man at training over summer. We had a good chat for half an hour or so. All I can say is what a genuine ripping person. Will cherish it forever . We spoke about the 08 granny a lot could write a couple of pages on it . Dad no different to any of us with kids he was happy to have Kobe getting an opportunity to train with the Hawks, having exposure and experiencing a high performance environment to see the hard work involved/required to make it.

I got the impression that Kobe was also training at Doggies to give himself more of an opportunity but given the choice (if a spot was offered by Hawks as there were still no promises made by the club at that stage) he would choose us. As I said it is just a hunch and the impression I got as dad still loves the club.

Watching Kobe in the match sim over summer I think he only played a half. Just a kid playing against our seniors who were cracking in hard …… unfazed Kobe showed plenty of composure and was very clean with his disposal by hand and foot. He looked fantastic!

Looked extremely composed and highly skilled - time to bury him and pick him up in the rookie draft
